Lentil & Sausage Herbed Farro

Like most people, I first learned about Polyface Farms in Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma. Our local organic grocery stocks Polyface and I’ve been trying to think of a reason to buy some. I stumbled upon this idea when looking for ways to use up the lentils and bell peppers that we had on hand. This dish turned into one of my favorites. Without the red peppers, it would be visually unappealing, but the flavors are fantastic. I’d like to think it’s my creation, but I’m sure it has more to do with Polyface’s delicious pork product.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook until no longer pink. Add sausage to farro and lentils, reserving drippings. In the same skillet, crisp pepper strips in sausage drippings. Serve peppers over farro mixture.
